Deadline nears to nominate military employers for recognition

Posted: Updated:
WASHINGTON (WTOC) -

If you're in the military and you work for a pretty understanding boss, the deadline is drawing near to nominate your employer for going beyond what the law requires in supporting the National Guardsmen and Reservists who work for them in their civilian lives. 

Reserve-component service members have until Jan. 21 to nominate their employers for a 2013 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award. 

The Freedom Award is the nation's highest recognition for employers who support guard and reserve members.

Guard and Reserve members, or a family member acting on their behalf, may nominate their employers at http://www.FreedomAward.mil.
